JSON in a script tag

What this tests. Twenty product pages that show a name and "Price loading…". The price, stock and variants sit in a JSON script tag the visible HTML never repeats.

The rule. Each product page shows its name and a price that says it's still loading. The real record is in <script type="application/json" id="__PAGE_DATA__">: price, stock count, SKU and every variant. Parse that and you have the lot, no browser needed. Scrape the visible text and you get twenty names and no prices.
